Attention! If you open a file with the "text"-modifier (e.g. 'rt') and the file contains \r\n as line-endings, ftell() returns the position as if there were only \n as line-endings. Example: If the first line only contains 1 char followed by \r\n, the start of the second line should be position 3. (1char + \r + \n = 3 bytes) But ftell() will return 2 - ignoring one byte. If you call ftell() in line 3, the value will differ from the real value by 2 bytes. The error gets greater with every line. (Watched this behavior in PHP 5.0.4 for Windows.) BUT: fseek() works as expected - using the true byte values. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftell.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58026 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58026&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58026&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58026&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58026&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58026&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58026&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58026&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58026&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
